    Pilot Road 3's or Conti Road attack 2?

    I have the Pilot Road 2's in 190/55 on my FZ1 and I adore them. I've heard the PR3s are even better. They will definitely be my next tire.

    New Custom Seat from "Dirt Road"

    I also had my seat re-done by Eddie (dirt road) and I'm very happy with the results. He has a really fast turn around time, and he's a super nice guy.

    Oxygen Sensor Eliminator and Nitro x

    The only time I know of anyone eliminating the O2 sensor is when you installer a Power Commander. If you remove the O2 sensor without something going in its place to help manage the fuel, it's going to run oddly. I'd be wary of that part.

    front seat wont fit

    I was having a hellova time getting my re-foamed an skinned stock seat to go back on today. The advice above helped me get it back on. I did the following: 1.) Bent the "tab" on the seat down a bit with a pair of pliers (gently) 2.) Got the tab in the slot, got it lined up, then gave it a whack...

    Rough week? Rough two months!

    I'm so sorry Eric, nobody deserves a week like that. All you can do is press on, keep those who have passed in your memories, and cherish the time you have with those who are still around. Chin up!

    FDB Levers Installed on 2 FZ1s

    Just to keep this updated, my FDB levers were black when I got them, and have completely faded to almost silver in a few months time. I contacted FDB and they didn't have any interest in helping me out. Oh well, you get what you pay for. I'll have them powdercoated over the winter or something....

    Mirrors

    I use knock off CRG style bar end mirrors. It was like $20 shipped for the set. I can see behind/beside WAY better, and it cleaned up the air flow coming from the front.

    Can I borrow a stock gen 2 seat?

    I think the Sargent may not be right for me. I've heard bigger guys don't get along with it. The local play may only take a day or so. Maybe I'll just say eff it and drop it off.

    Can I borrow a stock gen 2 seat?

    I'm sending my seat off to be redone, and I was wondering if anyone near northeast MA would lend me a stock Gen 2 seat for a few days? I'd like to keep my downtime to a minimum. Thanks all!

    anyone have issue with gas evaporating from tank out of overflow line?

    Because your bike is parked at an angle, and the location of the fuel level sensor, the fuel level reads MUCH lower when you first start it. If the level returns to where you remember it being when you parked it, all is well. If it is still low after a few miles of riding, time to figure out...

    Front wheel change

    I wondered the same thing. It seems really sketchy having the weight of the bike supported by the header, even if it's not the full weight.

    My chopped and blacked out stock windscreen

    If I didn't put a giant scratch on the front of the screen I would leave it alone. Seeing the scratch drives me nuts so I'll hide it somehow. I'm definitely not going to just spray paint the front. It won't hold up for more than a week.

    My chopped and blacked out stock windscreen

    I'll get a closer up pic soon, but that is how she sits now. The screen is chopped just about down to the fairing line, maybe a touch higher. I just rode for 30 or so miles and the air is hitting me square in the helmet/neck/chest area, just what I wanted. I'll report back with highway speeds...

    My painted stock screen and custom mirror block off plates

    I'm a big fan of the "bang for the buck" mods. Little things can make a big difference!

    Show me your Gen II bars

    I'm using the Bikemaster Superbike bars in black. They are taller than stock, and a bit less pull back. I'm still debating if I like them or not.

    My painted stock screen and custom mirror block off plates

    Last week I decided to paint the inside of my stock screen a semi gloss black, and make some mirror block off plates (I run bar end mirrors, WAY better than stock). The result: All I did with the screen is clean it REALLY well and tape off the rounded "edge" that runs the top portion of the...
